Westmead Private Hospital specialist James Brown

Dr James Brown

MBBS, MPH, FRANZCOG

Dr James Brown is an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist who understands infertility can be heartbreaking, especially when people see those around them falling pregnant easily. He knows access to quality fertility treatment and care is not a luxury, but a necessity for those who need help to build their families. With that in mind, Dr Brown aims to provide patients with a bespoke and personalised experience to help make their fertility journey as stress-free as possible.

Dr Brown graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery from University of Sydney in 2014. He also completed a Master of Public Health in the same year. Dr Brown has spent the last decade training and working in hospitals in Sydney’s west, beginning as an intern and resident before specialising in Obstetrics and Gynaecology from 2017.

He has worked in the Western Sydney Local Health District for over 10 years and now holds a leadership position as Clinical Network Maternity Safety and Quality Lead and Staff Specialist. In addition to clinical responsibilities, this role allows him to develop patient-centred policies to make the birth experience better for women and their families.

Dr Brown remains heavily involved in research. He continues to lecture and teach students at the University of Sydney, where he also supervises Masters projects. Dr Brown is also continuing his own studies, undertaking a PhD in Health Economics.

Having worked in the area for the past decade, Dr Brown is enthusiastic about helping people in Sydney’s north-west build their families. He knows it is an area where families work hard to provide the best for their future, and he feels privileged to be able to play a part in helping them achieve those dreams.

Dr Brown has not always worked in medicine; he began his career as a radio journalist and marketing professional. He then undertook a role as General Manager at a laser eye surgery practice, which piqued his interest in the clinical side of medicine and prompted him to undertake a medical degree.

When he is not working, Dr Brown enjoys putting his golfing skills to the test, as well as spending time with his wife, who works locally as a paediatrician, and family.
